The Apple iPhone 5s brings is one of the biggest under-the-hood upgrades to ever happen to the iPhone line. Apple’s A7 chip comes with a new Cyclone core that is very well optimized in terms of power consumption and still manages to deliver great performance…

Hey guys, I have an interesting conspiracy theory about PhoneArena.com! :D

I think that PhoneArena.com knows more about the Nexus 5 than it tells to us! And here is few reasons why I think so:

1) I have noticed that before LG G2 announcement and after LG G2 announcement, PhoneArena.com were publishing a lot of articles with such label "This story is sponsored by LG.". That's mean that PhoneArena.com in a certain sense were collaborating with LG.

3) And now we can see that PhoneArena.com is teasing Nexus 5 benchmark results.

P.S.
All this is only my speculations and opinion, each can draw its own conclusions. Also by posting all this I didn't have anything bad in my mind about PhoneArena.com, just sharing my discoveries. :P

In these benchmark comparisons where lower results are better in some tests and higher results are better in other tests, it would be helpful if the benchmark tool could indicate >>> for higher is better and >> for lower is better.

Victor, I have to complain about the picture preview again. I would like an option to easily open the original picture in the browser. Because actually, all the javascript coding, except on some scare website I've forgotten, are very bogus and incompatible with how one would like to manipulate a picture.

Lol he was on here the other day bragging about specs/benchmarks, now they mean nothing Smurf. Look man, all these phones are power houses. The 5S is simply a power house in a smaller package, and some will love that, some will hate that. I love it, great device. I've been comparing it head up with my note 2, I'd honestly say like 80% of the time the 5S is faster on the web. That should be expected with the new hardware. Gulenkov is hating bro.

1136x640 vs 1920x1080.
1920-1136 = 784
1080-640 = 440
its pushing over 1200 more pixels, iPhone is pushing a total of 1776 pixel, a phone like the Z1 is pushing 3000 pixels, which is quite a bit more.

Theres not really any resolution benchmarks for phones so heres what the impact of more pixels does to your FPS. Since Apple doesn't even use 720p it would be an even bigger difference on the actual phones compared.

Your calculations are wrong dude, iPhone 5S got 727040 pixels to push (1136x640) while the Full HD screens have more than 2 milion pixels to deal with (2073600 for 1920x1080), anyway good job from Apple with the upgrade refresh in his hardware and thanx Samsung for manufacturing the chip for them! Still waiting for a true cross platform compatible Benchmark that can really give us real comparison results for the all available portable OS's (iOS, Android, WP, Ubuntu, BB etc)

Shatter, I'm a big Android supporter myself, but you just proved how little you know about tech with that post. To figure out the number of pixels a screen has, you multiply the numbers, not add them. This actually lends to your point about the Android devices pushing more pixels, but some of those were off screen tests. That renders your point moot. Give credit where its due.

Sorry I couldn't reply on time due to me going to my History course in college. Actually, no, I'm not sorry. You just proved how little you know about technology. Here have fun learning a thing or two.

Anyway, offscreen test are silly, who plays a game "offscreen" in the bus ? The iPhone, as a device, will have the fastest games, but the low resolution of the screen will not let me buy it at this price.

If it had the same res at a bigger screen size then yes, it'd be a valid concern. However, as it so happens, it still has a great PPI level. Now when the iPhone 6 comes i guarantee the res will improve as well with the display size.

My mom would say the same thing and that is the same thing I tell my daughters. "Fix your face!" needs to be handed down from generation to generation. Too many whiners, pouters, pity parties in the real world these days.

Looks at daughter: "You better fix your face before we leave the house!"

For those that don't know, we are not talking about washing our face or girls putting on make up.

I don't know, these benchmark numbers seem fishy to me like the 9 mil sold number. I wouldn't be surprised if apple used some sort of software trick to make it seem faster than it really is. If these numbers are indeed true, well they are very impressive(too impressive to be true in my opinion).

It is because Apple uses new architecture, the 64-bit architecture is not just to be able to adress more than 3,5 GB RAM, however phonearena has no knowledge about CPU, either do I, but guys at anandtech do and there you will find out that a 64-bit CPU can do much more stuff than just adress more memory.
Also this new architecture uses the new armv8, and that is a huge step forward as you can see. ARMv8 architecture does not only add AArch64 but also adresses AArch32 (which is what everyone else except Apple is using right now) so it will have better performance in 32-bit programs as well. So if apps on IOS can make a good use of this new ''cyclone'', well just imagine what they can do with it. Apple is right now ahead of everyone else.

Many people have already pointed out that 64 architecture does not improve speed of a device significantly. Moreover, like 5s, Z1 has the latest ARM chip as well(snapdragon 800). It's hard to imagine 5s being so much faster than Z1 without so sort of trick being used for these benchmark tests. I could be wrong but when something looks too good to be true it rarely is.

the a7 has performed really well in the off screen benchmark tests which don't involve the resolution of the device...
...you are talking about the on screen benchmark tests that involve the resolution of the screen...
the a7 has done really well on screen and off screen...
